Cairo meeting denounces Turkey’s moves in Libya
Egypt, France, Cyprus and Greece Wednesday night expressed backing for a comprehensive peaceful solution to Libya’s years-long conflict amid growing fears of Turkey’s military intervention in the North African country, Gulf news reported.
“It is necessary to return to the political course in Libya and help Libyans reach agreement and stop violence,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said in Cairo following a coordination meeting on Libya with his French, Cypriot and Greek counterparts.
In November, Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan and head of the Libyan government based in Tripoli, Fayez Al Serraj, signed controversial maritime and security cooperation pacts.
